Blades for Caspar Retractor 55x52mm

Clinical Application

Blades sized 55x52 mm provide a defined retraction footprint for anterior cervical spine procedures. They are used with a Caspar-style self-retaining anterior cervical retractor to maintain soft-tissue and platysmal retraction during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, or other anterior cervical approaches. The blade dimensions offer a balance between soft-tissue exposure and controlled tension on wound edges, facilitating direct line-of-sight access to the disc space and vertebral bodies while minimizing the need for repeated manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 55x52 mm geometry provides a predictable contact area that distributes retraction force across a broader surface than narrow blades, which can reduce focal pressure on soft tissues. The blade is configured to interface with Caspar-style retractor frames and arms, allowing secure attachment and stable, hands-free exposure. The flat profile and appropriate footprint are intended to optimize visualization and instrument access in the confined anterior cervical corridor while helping preserve soft-tissue planes.
